Aluminum Car Takes 2,500 Hours to Complete

Runge Cars is a manufacturer known for producing exceptional vehicles, and the Runge RS is no exception. Despite having less than 20 cars built so far, each product from Runge Cars is of the highest quality.

Unlike the monstrous American muscle cars we often see, the Runge RS is a smaller and tamer car. However, it still manages to stand out with its all-aluminum handmade body. This unique feature is reminiscent of the shiny Dodge Viper, which is also crafted by Chris Runge, the owner of the company.

The Runge RS is built on a tube frame chassis with a wheelbase of 83 inches. The main objective behind its design is to capture the essence of late '50s race cars. Chris Runge dedicated an impressive 2,500 hours of work into building this masterpiece.

The end result is a head-turning sports car that bears a striking resemblance to the classic Porsche 718 race car. This iconic vehicle made its debut in the world of motorsports at the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans.
